Undoubtedly, one of the most beautiful grounds in the world, Newlands is what one can call ‘breathtaking’ with the view of the Table Mountain surrounding the stadium being glorious. In sunshine, it looks as if one has landed in paradise to watch a game of cricket in relaxation as he sits down on one of the 25,000 white seats in the ground. While if cloudy, it becomes foggy but it remains a pretty view to the naked eye and the weather gets cooler, which makes it more fun to sit and watch the game.

2) HPCA Stadium, Dharmsala


A cricket ground where a bowler can be described as running in from the Himalayas end is clearly an unusual addition to the international cricket. The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association advertize their new stadium as “the most attractive ground in India”, and that is not a boast by any stretch of imagination. At an elevation of 4,110 feet, it is the highest international ground in the world, and it is overlooked by the Dhauladhar range of the Himalayas that includes snow-capped peaks which three times higher. What a beautiful sight to behold!

Established: 2003

Capacity: 25,000

Home teams: Himachal Pradesh, India







1) Queenstown Events Centre, Ottago


The Queenstown Events Centre is bordered by farmland and nestles in the foothills of the stunning mountain range, The Remarkables. They are aptly named, and the ground is situated in a very picturesque area, near Lake Wakatipu.

The ground held its first international in 2003, just two years after becoming a first-class venue. Unfortunately, though, there are no plans to hold Tests anytime soon there just yet, as the facilities aren’t quite up to scratch, but discussions are being held about the possibility.

Opened in 1997, the ground is located on Queenstown Lakes District Council–owned land, between the foot of the Remarkables and the shores of Lake Wakatipu. The nearby Queenstown International Airport’s Runway threshold adds to the surroundings’ aura, boasting jaw-dropping views of large aircraft taking off and landing. It is also a “home ground” for Otago Cricket.

Established: 1997

End names: Remarkables End, Coronet Peak End

Capacity: 19,000

Home team: Otago
